These aspects can be combined, other aspects can be used, and structural changes can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

  [0014] Although embodiments are described in the general context of program modules that execute in conjunction with an application program that runs on an operating system of a computing device, aspects may be executed in combination with other program modules. Those skilled in the art will recognize that this is also possible.

  [0015] Generally, program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, and other types of structures that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Further embodiments may be implemented using other computer system configurations such as handheld devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based or program-controlled home appliances, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and similar computing devices. Those skilled in the art will understand that they can. The embodiments may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules can be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.

  [0016] Embodiments may be implemented as a computer-implemented process (method), a computing system, or as a product, such as a computer program product or computer-readable medium. A computer program product is a computer storage medium readable by a computer system that encodes a computer program that includes instructions for causing the computer or computing system to perform the exemplary process (s). It can be a medium. The computer-readable storage medium is implemented by one or more of, for example, volatile computer memory, non-volatile memory, hard drive, flash drive, floppy disk, or compact disk, and similar media. It is possible.

  [0017] Throughout this specification, the term "platform" may be a combination of software and hardware components for creating and modifying (and executing) database applications. Examples of platforms include, but are not limited to, hosted services that run across multiple servers, applications that run on a single computing device, and similar systems. In general, the term “server” refers to a computing device that executes one or more software programs, typically in a networked environment. However, the server may be implemented as a virtual server (software program) that runs on one or more computing devices that are considered servers on the network. Further details about such techniques and exemplary operations are provided below.

  [0018] FIG. 1 shows an exemplary screenshot of a solution design that includes a control gallery in the database program. As shown in FIG. 100, a user can create a solution in a table or form, for example, using pre-built controls provided in a control object gallery in a database program. Users can create various database applications and solutions in database programs such as tables, forms, projects, and reports. Creating complex solutions, usually with database programs, may require the user to have some knowledge of programming languages and the ability to write and edit code and logic using program design applications. A pre-built gallery of control objects may allow users with little coding or programming experience to create solutions in database programs without having to access the coding environment.

  [0019] In a system according to an embodiment, in order for a user to create a complete logic solution in a database program from start to finish, the user simply needs to access a gallery of controls. The gallery can display the controls in a separate menu 102 or can incorporate the controls in the ribbon taskbar 120 in the design view 112 of the database program. In addition, the user customizes the gallery display to determine where the controls are displayed, how the controls are displayed, any custom created logic controls, and which logical scenarios to display or not display in the gallery. be able to. Some users may use some logical scenarios more often than others, and users can create an efficient gallery to use when creating a complete database solution You may be able to customize the gallery view according to your choice and usage. Users are therefore allowed to create their own custom defined controls for use in the gallery.

  [0020] The gallery can include control objects for various controls and actions that describe logical scenarios in the database program. A database program can contain many logical scenarios for building solutions in the database program, and the gallery can display most or all of the commonly used controls that describe common logical scenarios Can do. Control objects in the gallery can be pre-built to include the code and logic behind each of the controls, so the user can simply select the control for addition to the solution, and the user You never have to see or access the logic behind the controls. The control objects in the gallery can clearly indicate the controls or actions performed on the solution, so the gallery is simple and intuitive for the user, and the solution design with pre-built control objects in the gallery In addition to the view 112, components can be incorporated into the solution.

  [0021] You can create a label for the control object with text to display the action that the control object represents clearly and concisely, and / or display the control object as an icon or graphic to identify it in the gallery Can represent actions and logic scenarios. Control objects can be added to the solution using either a click-to-add method or a drag-and-drop method. A gallery control can have all of the control action logic embedded behind the control so that when the user adds the control to the solution or drags and drops the control onto the design canvas, the user can enter the code editor. There is no need for access and the code can be automatically incorporated into the solution. However, the solution code can be accessible to the user for display and modification if the user desires to edit the logic behind the solution at any point during the development of the solution. The logic or code behind each control and the complete solution can follow the proper programming principles and languages, and if the user needs access to the code for display or modification, a known programming technique can be used. Error handling and comments can be included so that the code can be easily read, understood and edited.

  [0022] Some example logical scenarios that can be used in a database program include application navigation, filtering, record navigation, data transmission, data updating and validation, and custom user interface automation. Controls that represent actions in these scenarios are text boxes 113, drop-down menus 114, buttons, combination boxes, lists, radio buttons, and / or that can be added to a fully pre-built design canvas with the logic of the controls. It can be displayed as a check box in the control object gallery. For example, a database that users use by opening and closing dialogs and new pages, saving changes to items, canceling, and deleting, or searching for information contained on a page or form You may need to navigate through forms in the program. Since these are fairly common navigation controls or actions in database programs, the gallery can contain a control object for each of these actions so that the user can add these navigation functions to the solution.

  [0023] In an exemplary embodiment, the gallery may include controls for saving and / or closing forms or other applications within the solution. The user can select the save and close button 108 and drag and drop it on the design view 112 where the user wants to place the button. A button 118 is then displayed on the form, allowing the user to save and close the form. The logic of the action of saving and closing the form can be pre-built in conjunction with the save and close button 108 in the gallery, and the save and close button 108 can be dragged and dragged onto the design canvas by the user. When dropped, this logic can be added to the logic of the complete solution. Comments that indicate what instructions the logic contains can be included in the solution logic, such as "This macro saves the current record and closes the form."

  [0024] In another example, a user can add a search pane 116 to a solution in a database program. Search box 116 may include a text box for entering text and a selection button for clicking to perform a search action. When the user adds a search box to the solution design canvas, pre-built logic for the search control can be automatically incorporated into the solution code, either during the search button on-click event, or Instructions may be included to search for records for text in the text box when the user tabs from the search box. The default logic of the search box may be to search across all of the records on the subform if the current form and / or subform exists. If desired, a dialog or wizard can be presented to allow the user to set the search box and customize the records that are searched when the search button is clicked.

  [0025] In some scenarios, controls added to the solution can include complete logic for performing actions. For example, save buttons, close buttons, delete buttons, cancel buttons, and cancel buttons can be added to a solution without any other input by simply dragging and dropping them onto the design canvas of the solution. However, other logic scenarios may require additional information or additional input parameters to add complete logic to the solution and may be entered in wizards or dialogs when controls are added to the design surface. There is. An exemplary logic scenario that requires additional input parameters includes an Open-Form control 104. To open a form in a database program, the user must first select the form that the user wants to open when clicking the control. Note that opening can be done in various ways, for example inline (instead of the content of an existing page), in a subform (in the form of the current page), and in a modal pop-up window. When the user selects the Open-Form control 104 from the gallery and drags and drops it to the design view 112 to create an Open-Form button, the button 124 appears and displays "Open Form" Can be done. When this is added to the canvas, a wizard or dialog pops up to show the user what else needs to be filled in before the control is complete and guides the user through additional input parameters.

  [0026] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary screenshot of a dialog or wizard for entering additional parameters for a logical scenario, according to embodiments. As briefly described above in connection with FIG. 1, when a user adds control to a design solution, additional information may be required to fully incorporate the complete logic for the control into the solution. . When adding a control to the design canvas, a dialog or wizard can pop up to collect additional input parameters from the user when more information is needed to create complete logic for the control . For example, when the user chooses to add an Open-Form control to the solution, adding the Open-Form control allows the Open-Form button 124 to be created in the solution and a dialog 202 is displayed and opened to the user. The name of the desired form can be prompted (204). If the user clicks on a form name from the list in the dialog to select it, for example “Contacts” 206, and clicks the “ok” button 208, the dialog may close, and the full logic of the Open-Form button Can be created. Form name selection can also be by other means, such as drop-down menus, check box selections, and the like.

  [0027] The logic of the control can be incorporated into the solution, so whenever the Open-Form button is selected from the design solution, the user selected form in the dialog is opened. In addition, the Open-Form button caption can be updated and changed to display “Open Contacts”, for example, when the user selects Contacts 206 from the dialog list, and the Open-Form button logic indicates that the control It can indicate that a contact form is opened upon selection, or any other form that the user has chosen to open. The user may be able to change the logic if necessary to change the form selected to open, or make other changes.

  [0028] In other embodiments, another dialog 210 is presented to provide additional information for opening the form, such as 212 which record to display in the form and 214 how to open the form. Can be collected. The user can first select a form to open from drop-down list 216, after which another option for opening the form may be presented in a check box or drop-down menu or list. In one example, opening a form in a database program can be performed in various ways. For example, a user can determine how to open a form inline, in a subform, or in a pop-up window, and using a check box dialog to select one of the available Open-Form methods. Like that. In addition, when the form is opened, the user can select which record (s) the form displays from the record set. The user can choose to display the current record, a new record, or present all records. Other information can be collected using a checkbox to select from a limited number of options, or a drop-down menu that displays all options for a specified item.

  [0029] In another example, the user may be able to set a value for another control via dialog box 220. The drop down menu 222 can be used to select the control for which the user wants to set a value. For example, the dialog can ask which control to set and what value to set the control to. Dialog box 220 may present all drop-down menus or lists of controls for the current form. In addition, a builder button allows the user to pop up an expression builder and select a control outside the current form. The drop-down menu can also list controls on the subform if there is a subform on the form to which the button is dragged. The dialog may also display a second drop-down menu or list or text box 224 for selecting or entering a value for setting the control. The value set can be in accordance with the selected control. Some exemplary values of controls that can be selected or displayed include an expression builder, a calendar / date picker, an attachment picker for selecting files to attach, or a calculator. included. The second drop-down box may be able to parse the control type of the updated control so that the user can easily select from a list of acceptable values for the control based on the control definition. For example, if the user selects a control named “Gender” from the drop-down menu 222, the text box 224 can simply be changed to a comboBox control with selections of “Male” and “Female”.

  [0030] FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary screenshot of a dialog or wizard for entering additional parameters for a logical scenario, according to embodiments. In an exemplary embodiment, the user can select to add a “Set Property” button, which adds additional parameters for the user to set properties for another control. Dialog 300 may be displayed with a number of drop-down menus for selecting. For example, some additional input parameters include which controls are updated (302), which properties are updated (304), and what properties are set (306). The set properties button allows you to set properties for the control in the current form or subform. Some exemplary properties for control settings include enabled, visible, edit locked, color, foreground color, background color, and caption. Some example property values for a property can be true / false for enabled / displayable, color picker or ability to write color for a color property in hex value, text box for selecting caption value .

  [0031] For example, the color picker 308 may be displayed to allow the user to easily select the color that they want to update without having to know the hexadecimal color code or the color code of the database program. The drop-down menu or list should be progressively selective so that when a property is selected, only the property value of the selected property can be displayed in subsequent menus. it can. For example, the first question “Which control to update” (302) may indicate all controls of the current form. When a control is selected, subsequent menus or lists (eg, 304, 306) can display a smaller list of updated control properties. For example, if the user selects a control that is a text box, the drop-down menu can display property values such as color, available, visible, but when the text box does not have a separate caption property, Caption properties may not be displayed. Once all of the questions have been selected or answered by the user, the user can select “ok” and clicking the “ok button” 310 can incorporate the code into the solution.

Process 600 may be performed on a similar electronic device capable of executing instructions by a computing device or processor.

  [0044] Process 600 begins at operation 610, where the system can detect that a user has created or started a new design solution in a database program. Alternatively, the user may change an existing design solution. Some example solutions in a database program can include forms, tables, projects, queries, and reports. Upon detecting the creation of a new solution or modification of an existing solution, the system can determine the commonly used logical scenario for the type of solution the user is working on. At operation 620, the system can load a pre-built control for an action or object that represents a commonly used logical scenario into a gallery of control objects. The control object gallery can be displayed as a menu in the solution design view in the database program, or the control can be displayed as part of a taskbar that is displayed as part of the solution design view. The gallery can allow the user to select controls in the gallery to add to the solution. The user can click on the control to select it, or the user can add the control to the solution using a drag and drop method. The controls in the gallery can contain logic or code to generate pre-built controls behind the controls, so the user can simply select and add the controls to the solution and edit any code There is no need or access to the code editor.

Adding a control to the solution, at operation 640, the system can add the control's object to the design solution. The object may be a button, menu, list, text box, or pop-up window in some examples. In addition, the logic behind the controls can be added to the complete solution code. This allows the solution code to be updated with user-added solution components without the user having to manually edit the solution code.

  [0046] In some logic scenarios or controls, more information may be required to incorporate the complete logic of the control into the system. In such a case, the system can display a wizard or dialog window at operation 650 as needed, and can be displayed after adding the control to the solution design view. The wizard may present multiple questions, drop-down menus, lists, or checkboxes to display additional input parameters and options for the user to select and customize and complete the control objects in the solution. it can. After the user selects additional options and provides the additional information needed to incorporate the complete logic of control into the solution, the system updates the objects in the solution to see the exact function of the objects in the solution or Operations can be displayed. Operation 660 can incorporate the complete logic of the control object into the solution code logic of the solution in the database program.

  [0047] The code can be made available to the user for editing and customization if desired by the user, but the complete code is not required for the user to access the code generator or generate any code or logic. You can create a solution from start to finish. In some embodiments, the solution can be logic inside a table, form, project, report, or query.

  [0048] The operations included in process 600 are for illustration. The creation of logic using pre-built controls can be performed by a similar process with fewer or additional steps, as well as in a different order of operation using the principles described herein. .
